LeBron James Bumps Drake To Celebrate Team USA Basketball’s Gold Medal Amid Beef Rumors

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

LeBron James and the rest of Team USA have much to celebrate these days thanks to their fifth-straight gold medal in men’s basketball at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. There have been a lot of clips of the players reacting to their win, celebrating together as a collective, and overall having a great time in the city. The latest clip that has people talking, though, is of all of them sitting out with champagne bottles, which LeBron was happy to shake and pop. However, the most curious detail out of the clip below for many fans, especially hip-hop listeners, was that they were playing Drake and Rick Ross’ track “Lord Knows” in the background.

Not only is this a sad reminder that Drizzy and Rozay aren’t cool anymore, but it also contributes to the ongoing saga of LeBron James’ alleged beef with the 6ix God, or perhaps vice versa. For those unaware, a lot of folks are interpreting Drake’s social media activity, as well as that of other OVO members like Chubbs, as sending shade LeBron’s way. The Canadian duo congratulated Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Jayson Tatum collectively with no mention of the current Laker.

However, LeBron James did seem to dispel these rumors recently on social media by posting Drake’s sneaker online with an infinity emoji. Of course, that’s just on his behalf, as we didn’t really get any sort of affirmation from the Toronto superstar at press time: only mixed signals, interesting omissions, or possible shady responses. But folks might be wondering as to why this is even happening. Well, the most reasonable fan theory is that LeBron’s attendance at Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” concert, as well as his overall support of both K.Dot and The Boy during their rap battle and clips of him dancing to “Not Like Us” and rapping along to Kendrick’s diss tracks, rubbed Aubrey Graham the wrong way.

Regardless of whether LeBron James and Drake are actually beefing, people obsessively connected this to the Kendrick Lamar situation and set up the damage already. Whether or not you think there’s something going on or not, it’s clear that everyone involved is in a pretty tight spot when it comes to optics. Well, expect Kendrick, because he doesn’t care as much about that stuff. But at least the “It’s Up” MC has the support of folks like Steph through and through, as overblown and exaggerated as this Bron beef likely is.

Drake & Chubbs’ Posts About Team USA & Steph Curry Further Fuel LeBron James Beef Rumors

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We don’t know how we got to caring about whether or not super famous men are salty with one another… But here we are after a rap beef that absolutely took over pop culture. Moreover, as a result of his Kendrick Lamar battle, you might have heard that Drake is allegedly beefing with LeBron James, or at least, that’s what a lot of social media-obsessed fans think even after LBJ himself seemed to dismiss these rumors. The reason? Well, those on the gossip train theorize that it’s because the basketball star attended K.Dot’s “The Pop Out” concert and basically supported his music but also had praise for Drizzy’s competitive efforts.

The latest piece of “evidence” concerning Drake and LeBron James’ alleged falling out comes after Team USA’s victory over France for the gold medal in men’s basketball for the 2024 Olympics, a game that went down on Saturday (August 10). The 6ix God took to his “plot twist” Finsta account, responsible for his 100 GIGS drop, to post a picture of longtime OVO fan Steph Curry hitting his signature “sleep” pose (sorry if there’s another name for it) during the game. Aubrey Graham’s bodyguard Chubbs, another player in the Kendrick Lamar battle, also omitted LeBron from his Instagram congratulations for the team, instead congratulating Steph, Kevin Durant, and Jayson Tatum.

Drake & Chubbs Have Fans Thinking They’re Shading LeBron James

While LeBron James’ own Instagram activity suggested that he has no issues with Drake, it’s still up in the air whether that’s a two-way street or not. Also, it’s curious because during a recent GQ Sports profile, Steph Curry made it clear that he’s still rocking with the MC who shouted him out on “0 To 100.” “I’m a big Drake guy,” he remarked. “I’ve been for a long time. I think obviously you know what it is for the rap industry to have that, but I still rock with Drake. Absolutely. Absolutely.”

Also, we know that Steph Curry and LeBron James feel very differently about Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss track against Drake. LeBron still loves it, and Steph is ready for the hype to end. Will this alleged beef ever clear up or will we never hear of it again? Time will tell…

Lil Wayne Sparks Drake Beef Conspiracy Theories Thanks To His Latest Move

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne and Drake have a rich history together. Overall, they have collaborated countless times and were a legendary duo during Drake’s earliest years in the hip-hop world. However, in 2024, Drizzy has fallen on hard times. His loss to Kendrick Lamar has loomed large, and despite numerous releases since then, nothing has landed. Moreover, there have been all sorts of rumors about how Drake’s closes allies don’t rock with him anymore.

Now, fans are concocting theories about how one of his enemies might just be none other than Lil Wayne. Overall, this is probably news to a lot of people. After all, how could Wayne hate Drake? What is the catalyst for all of this? Well, what we do know right now is that Lil Wayne was recently spotted wearing an XO chain. This subsequently sparked a whole bunch of Drake beef rumors, especially since Drizzy and The Weeknd are at odds.

Are Lil Wayne & Drake At Odds?

In the replies to a tweet from NFR Podcast, numerous fans voiced their opinion on what is going on here. “Don’t the weekend got beef with Drake. Lowkey feel like Wayne and Drake have beef,” one person wrote. “This is the 4th sign … Let’s recap 1. Wayne rappin not like us 2. Wayne said only Glorilla came up to him at the all white party 3. The verse with Cordae,” explained another. While many just took this as a sign that Wayne is going to be on the next Weeknd album, there is still some concern that Drake and Wayne might be done as a duo. Only time will tell whether or not these conspiracies will hold weight.

Let us know what you think about these conspiracy theories, in the comments section down below. Do you agree with the fans who are saying there is something to all of this?

LeBron James Seemingly Responds To Drake Beef Speculation

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Throughout Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef dozens of celebrities were reacting to the songs that came from it. Any time they were vibing to each artist’s disse, the fanbase of that rapper would claim them as their own. To be honest, all of that was a big stretch. Maybe that certain person just enjoys the song for what it is and not for who its dissing. However, there have been some cases where the opposite is true, too. As for the reaches, LeBron James was essentially shunned from Drake’s fanbase due to him supporting Lamar’s tracks and The Pop Out. Because of this, some people were actually running with the idea that James had been favoring the Compton kid.

Joe Budden was one of the ones entertaining it, doing so on his self-titled podcast. What got him intrigued in this “passive-aggressive LeBron-Drake beef” was the fact that the Canadian rapper was congratulating the Olympic athletes, but not James. “I know nobody is paying too much attention to it, but it is a real thing. It’s happening”, Budden urged. “Savannah might just really love that shirt, and I don’t speak about people’s wives, but she might just really love that shirt, brand, and Kendrick, and ain’t paying what y’all doing no mind. Maybe, maybe. But LeBron posing in the picture the way he did with her in the shirt tells me that he saw the Drake post… “They’ve been going back and forth since this ‘Not Like Us’ s***.’ And it’s interesting to me”.

LeBron Will Always Have Love For Drake

However, that all seems to be over with. LeBron has supposedly been listening to the chatter around his “fractured” relationship with The Boy and decided to post a pic on his IG Story. That photo is of Drake’s Air Force 1 collaborative sneaker that reads “Love you forever” on the midsole. The NBA vet then put the “” emoji underneath, symbolizing that their ties will never be broken. Of course, Drake’s stans got a hold of this on X and are calling him a “team switcher”.

What are your thoughts on LeBron James reposting Drake’s Air Force 1 sneaker on his IG Story amid their “beef”? Do you think they were ever at odds with one another, or was that the fanbase portraying it that way? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Latto & Sexyy Red Continue To Debunk Past Beef Speculation With A Twerk-Tastic Night Out: Watch

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the last several months, Latto and Sexyy Red have been pitted against each other online. Many outsiders have felt that the two leading ladies in hip-hop possess some sort of hatred for each other. This belief seemingly began back in October, shortly after working on the same remix, that being Young Nudy’s “Peaches & Eggplants” single. A video of Latto, her sister, and some friends made the rounds as they were all rocking True Religion jeans. Sexyy Red then seemingly took a subliminal shot at her, saying “All these celebrities wasn’t wearing @truereligion until @sexyyred came out ”. However, just one day after the speculation, the Hood Hottest Princess put all of that to bed, “Definitely not shading her I’m direct wit it whatever I gotta say”.

Then, late last month, the “Get It Sexyy” hitmaker had to once again shut down any beef rumors. Her little sister tried to push that Latto was once again copying her older sibling musically this time. Red stepped in, “I didn’t say nun about this girl period. I don’t have ah problem with @latto”. To essentially retire any possible remaining arguments that these two have it out for one another, Latto and Sexyy Red were enjoying a crazy night out at a dinner party.

Latto & Her Sis, Sexyy Red, & Flo Milli Had A Blast

According to AllHipHop, the two were twerking up a storm while “Get It Sexyy” was blasting at the restaurant. Flo Milli and Latto’s sister were the other notable girlies joining them, as a separate video shows them being goofy by making a TikTok inspired by a popular sound. On top of closing the beef chapter, this night is a sign for something else. With Latto getting ready to release Sugar Honey Iced Tea, we can only hope that they were discussing a possible collaboration for the project. The features are one of the major unknowns surrounding the album, so hopefully they have been working in secrecy!

What are your thoughts on Latto and Sexyy Red having a fun night out? Why do you think the beefing narrative continues to get pushed? Do you need more music from them? Could you see Red being a feature on Latto’s upcoming album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Latto and Sexyy Red. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Childish Gambino Producer Weighs In On Drake Diss Conspiracies

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Childish Gambino certainly has gone out with a bang on his final album, Bando Stone and The New World. The fifth LP is essentially a mixture of what has made him into the multi-hyphenate we know him to be. It seems that listeners are enjoying the record, regardless of what the sales projections are telling you. For context, the soundtrack-to-be is currently looking at top 15-20 debut on the charts. That will roughly translate to 35,000 copies sold. Overall, people cannot stop theorizing about the possibility that Childish Gambino did in fact diss Drake. “Yoshinoya” is the track in question and fans have been breaking down its lyrics since it dropped last Friday (July 19).

They feel there a lot of connections to the Kendrick Lamar battle, such as, “N****s don’t know where I’m at, I found your house on a app / People around you ain’t slatt, they plottin’ hard when you slack“. The first could be a callback to the cover of the “Not Like Us” single, while the second is a possible reference to “6:16 in LA” where Lamar says Drake’s people are secretly plotting on him. With fans running around like chickens with their heads cut off, one of Gambino’s producers felt the need to weigh in. However, he’s more so just enjoying the show for now.

Michael Uzowuru, who had several credits on this album (not “Yoshinoya”), shared a screenshot of a TDE Punch tweet that reads, “lol”. So, yeah, not much to work with there. But hopefully, all of this chatter around Gambino’s farewell LP will drive up sales in the subsequent weeks. HipHopDX brought to light that his first week numbers have never been amazing. Like most of his releases, they tend to be an acquired taste and we predict that more and more people will come to appreciate what this LP is.

What are your thoughts on Childish Gambino’s “Yoshinoya” producer reacting to the Drake diss theories? Do you think it is a pretty obvious diss record? Where does this song rank in terms of the rest of the Bando Stone and The New World tracklist? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Iggy Azalea Clears Up “Hatred” For SZA After Crypto Lingo Confusion

May 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Iggy Azalea, one of the largest hitmakers from the country of Australia, is not making music anymore if you were not aware. The “Fancy” songwriter announced that she would be retiring from the industry at the beginning of 2024 after essentially hitting a dead end on an album she was working on. “I feel more passionately about design and creative direction than I do about songwriting”, she explained. It still remains to be seen whether or not what she will do full time. We do know that she is a top earner on the controversial OnlyFans platform. All of this makes a tweet from Iggy Azalea, which is rumored to be an attempt to diss SZA, all the more confusing.

According to AllHipHop, this post on X several hours ago had some fans stunned: “Who’s solana…? I don’t know that b****”. For those who are not in the know, SZA’s legal name is Solána Imani Rowe. One of the R&B superstar’s super fans was at the ready to defend her. “That’s @sza mother”, the user told Iggy. However, it turns out the post was a false alarm. “Girl im talking about crypto.”

Iggy Azalea Shows Love To SZA After Confusion On X

And I love sza too! not about to have Stan Twitter rope her into crypto shit hahaha lmaooo

— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) May 28, 2024

Azalea is correct here, as there is a blockchain company by the same name that was launched with help of SOL cryptocurrency. One fan caught was the rapper was putting down, though, “I cackled a bit”, the user replied. Azalea made sure to then clarify that she has no ill will toward the SOS creator, “I love sza too! not about to have Stan Twitter rope her into crypto s*** hahaha lmaooo”.

What are your thoughts on Iggy Azalea clearing up the talk around her hating SZA? Were you aware that Solana was also a name for a blockchain company? Would you want to hear a SZA and Iggy collaboration, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

ATL Jacob Addresses Metro Boomin Diss Rumors

April 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Metro Boomin has been in plenty of beef recently thanks to all the Drake shots on the WE DON’T TRUST YOU series with Future, plus some past tension. However, it seems like this negative energy kind of got the better of fans, and they’re now looking for more conflict wherever they can. Moreover, fellow producer ATL Jacob recently addressed claims from fans who thought that he dissed Metro on his latest beat. “F**K NO we ain’t doing that,” he responded to a fan who wanted to feed into this theory, and fans quickly followed with amused theories as to how someone could arrive at that conclusion in the first place.

Well, let’s break down why: the beat in question is for Nicki Minaj’s new “FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” featuring Travis Scott, Sexyy Red, and Chris Brown. We know Nicki and Sexyy are pretty firmly on Drake’s side, but La Flame and Breezy were both featured on Metro Boomin and Future’s album series this year, although they haven’t really picked a side on the matter. What people think ATL Jacob did was that he cut up a clip saying “F**k Metro Boomin” with his scratches on the song. Either that, or the tweet below suggests that the DJ scratching is a “diss” to what the St. Louis producer did on the title track of WE DON’T TRUST YOU… which is odd considering that this is literally one of the oldest techniques in hip-hop history, so why attribute it to one artist?

ATL Jacob Denies Dissing Metro Boomin

FUCK NO we ain’t doing that https://t.co/wd4HBMhhNE

— ATLJACOB (@atljacobbeatz) April 19, 2024

So it turns out that there are a few links to make here… but all of them add up to a pretty meager, random, and far-reaching case as to why ATL Jacob could’ve dissed Metro Boomin. Of course, the memes about Metro dissing Drake through some drums have been pretty funny, but we never thought that people would actually think that’s how a producer show-down would go. Elsewhere this year, though, Jacob got himself into some other conflictive situations with artists. One example is his dispute with Tems over the creation of Future and Drizzy’s “WAIT FOR U,” which samples one of her songs.

Meanwhile, the “RNS” beatsmith is clearly still an amicable peer of Metro. How do you think a beat from them would sound today considering their career trajectories? Drop your takes down in the comments section below. Also, log back into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on ATL Jacob and Metro Boomin.

Childish Gambino Shuts Down Kid Cudi Feud: “Life’s Too Short”

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rap beef isn’t for everybody. It seems like every big game in the game is currently beefing, but Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover has no interest in participating. The rapper recently got on Instagram Live to promote his upcoming albums, and he made it clear that he doesn’t have any ill will towards Kid Cudi, despite rumors that the two of them are beefing. As far as Gambino is concerned, “life’s too short” to focus on dissing others.

Gambino was fielding questions toward the end of his IG Live, when a fan asked about the Cudi situation. The rapper took a beat before stating that he would prefer to sit down with Kid Cudi in person and hash things out then resort to making vague threats on wax. “Kid Cudi, if you got a problem, like, I’m not here for the beef,” Gambino asserted. “Just like, talk to me. … ‘Cause it’s like we don’t have to agree on everything but we also don’t have to be like, ‘When I see you, we have to wanna kill each other’.”

Childish Gambino Prefers To Talk To Cudi

— Guardian Angel (@chillzmescudi) April 15, 2024

The alleged tension between Gambino and Cudi started in February 2024. A fan reached out to Cudi on Twitter and said they would love to see him and Gambino collaborate. “You and Gambino gotta work on something,” the fan wrote. “Whether it’s TV, movies, or music we’d love to see/hear it.” Evidently, Cudi was not interested. “I’m cool,” he responded. Gambino did not address the frigid exchange at the time, but his measured feelings on the matter via Instagram Live suggest there won’t be any mention of it in the future.

Childish Gambino tensions have been in the air for a lot of rappers recently. Tyler, The Creator talked about the “Redbone” rapper during his recent Coachella set, and admitted that he used to despise him. He told the crowd that was not a fan until he heard Gambino’s 2013 song “Urn,” but has loved his music ever since. “It was so undeniable, I was at conflict with myself,” Tyler admitted. “And now, the tables have turned and this n***a barely returns my calls.” The two artists are now on good terms, however, so there’s hope that a similar peace can be reached between Gambino and Cudi.

Offset Sends Birthday Shoutout To Quavo, Puts Feud Rumors To Rest

April 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Offset posted a tribute for Quavo on his birthday, earlier this week. In doing so, he shared a photo of the two of them with their late Migos partner, Takeoff, from many years ago. He captioned the post: “Happy gday my brother @quavohuncho love you 4L [for life].” It comes despite longstanding rumors of anonymity between the two.

The rappers previously linked up to honor Takeoff at the 2023 Grammy Awards, although that didn’t seem to resolve the differences entirely. Rumors later surfaced that they got into a fight backstage. Months later, they reunited again for a performance at the BET Awards.

Offset & Quavo Perform Together At The BET Awards Following Takeoff’s Death

Offset finally spoke at length about the situation during an appearance on The Breakfast Club in October. He labeled Quavo his brother and said that “it’s all love.” “I don’t feel like I owe it to people to show how much me and bro love each other,” he explained at the time. “We went through something, we don’t have to show you smiles on faces … so stop doing that. We aint on no sucker sh*t with each other, we both came in this sh*t together and we both knew that, we understood that, and we lost our brother. I still go through sh*t; I know bro go through sh*t, N****s love each other though at the end of the day. We men, we real brothers, and we cool with it, so be cool with it. Don’t ever try and turn us against each other. I hate that sh*t. At the end of the day, it ain’t your business.”
